I think that changed my entire level of courage. I went on to get straight A's for the Cambridge A levels the following year and subsequently do really well (by my own standards) in the army.

But we can't just stop there. And this is a timely reminder for me. Thanks.

Everyone that knows me has been astonished to see how much better I've been in all areas of my life since I decided to cut the cord - sustainably happy, excited, silly - the me I thought went missing a few years ago. :D i'm so happy to be back! Everyone, please take this post to heart! I've been trying to convince my friends to follow me into madness ;) they don't see how much is being drained out of them for the sake of a paycheck.

He said he always maintained his integrity and never sold out. Johnny Depp is this great looking movie star, but he wouldn't be the Johnny Depp we know him as if he ever took a judging gig with some popular talent show - his equivalent of a nine to five I suppose. As a single man, the authenticity and passion for life from a freedom business is as nice as the freedom. I know guys who are less physically attractive than me but have a passion and "get more girls."
